DESCRIPTION
The ndp command manipulates the address mapping table used by the Neigh-
bor Discovery Protocol (NDP).
-a Dump the currently existing NDP entries. The following informa-
tion will be printed:
Neighbor IPv6 address of the neighbor.
Linklayer Address
Linklayer address of the neighbor. It could be
``(incomplete)'' when the address is not available.
Netif Network interface associated with the neighbor cache
entry.
Expire The time until expiry of the entry. The entry could
become ``permanent'', in which case it will never
expire.
S State of the neighbor cache entry, as a single let-
ter:
N Nostate
W Waitdelete
I Incomplete
R Reachable
S Stale
D Delay
P Probe
? Unknown state (should never happen).
Flags Flags on the neighbor cache entry, in a single let-
ter. They are: Router, proxy neighbor advertisement
(``p''). The field could be followed by a decimal
number, which means the number of NS probes the node
has sent during the current state.
-Await
Repeat -a (dump NDP entries) every wait seconds.
-c Erase all the NDP entries.
-d Delete specified NDP entry.
-f Parse the file specified by filename.
-H Harmonize consistency between the routing table and the default
router list; install the top entry of the list into the kernel
routing table.
-I Shows the default interface used as the default route when there
is no default router.
-Iinterface
Specifies the default interface to be used when there is no
interface specified even though required.
-I delete
The current default interface will be deleted from the kernel.
-iinterface [expressions ...]
View ND information for the specified interface. If additional
arguments expressions are given, ndp sets or clears the flags or
variables for the interface as specified in the expression. Each
expression should be separated by white spaces or tab characters.
Possible expressions are as follows. Some of the expressions can
begin with the special character `-', which means the flag speci-
fied in the expression should be cleared. Note that you need --
before -foo in this case.
nud Turn on or off NUD (Neighbor Unreachability Detection) on
the interface. NUD is usually turned on by default.
accept_rtadv
Specify whether or not to accept Router Advertisement
messages received on the interface. Note that the kernel
does not accept Router Advertisement messages unless the
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv variable is non-0, even if the
flag is on. This flag is set to 1 by default.
prefer_source
Prefer addresses on the interface as candidates of the
source address for outgoing packets. The default value
of this flag is off. For more details about the entire
algorithm of source address selection, see the
IMPLEMENTATION file supplied with the KAME kit.
disabled
Disable IPv6 operation on the interface. When disabled,
the interface discards any IPv6 packets received on or
being sent to the interface. In the sending case, an
error of ENETDOWN will be returned to the application.
This flag is typically set automatically in the kernel as
a result of a certain failure of Duplicate Address Detec-
tion. While the flag can be set or cleared by hand with
the ndp command, it is not generally advisable to modify
this flag manually.
basereachable=(number)
Specify the BaseReachbleTimer on the interface in mil-
lisecond.
retrans=(number)
Specify the RetransTimer on the interface in millisecond.
curhlim=(number)
Specify the Cur Hop Limit on the interface.
-n Do not try to resolve numeric addresses to hostnames.
-p Show prefix list.
-P Flush all the entries in the prefix list.
-r Show default router list.
-R Flush all the entries in the default router list.
-s Register an NDP entry for a node. The entry will be permanent
unless the word temp is given in the command. If the word proxy
is given, this system will act as a proxy NDP server, responding
to requests for hostname even though the host address is not its
own.
-t Print timestamp on each entry, making it possible to merge output
with tcpdump(8). Most useful when used with -A.
RETURN VALUES
The ndp command will exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.

kit.
